What are Genetically Modified Organisms?

are a result of technology that has altered the DNA of living organisms (animals, plants or bacteria)

Other terms for GMOs: Genetically engineered Transgenic Recombinant DNA (rDNA)

technology

Why are GMOs produced?

to enhance growth and/or efficiency

of food conversion.

to modify behaviour, e.g.

aggression.

to enhance commercially

significant flesh characteristics.

to control reproductive

activity and/or sexual phenotype.

to increase resistance of

species to pathogens.

to increase tolerance to/of environmental

variables such as temperature.

• It is a patented brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent zebrafish with bright red, green, and orange fluorescent color.

• Can detect pollution by selectively fluorescing in the presence of environmental toxins.

• Created for high school students to be used in dissecting.

• You can see through the skin how organs grow, how cancer starts and develops.

Examples of GMOs

• A genetically engineered pig approved for limited production which produces 65 percent less phosphorous in animal waste thus very environmental friendly.

• a cross between a lion and a dog.

• is probably the most remarkable example of how far science is able to go with modern DNA and cross fertilization techniques.

• a miniature pine tree which is a mere 2cm tall when fully grown.

• originally developed to provide

a fast growing source for pine-tree smell to be used in the fragrance industry but in very little time its usefulness in other areas became obvious.

• Developed by Copenhagen firm Aresa Bio-detection

• can be handy when it comes to saving the world. Whenever flowers hit nitrogen dioxide, the plant changes color to red.

• Genes from Bt was inserted into the crop to make them capable of producing an insecticidal toxin and therefore resistant to certain pests.

• Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a soil bacterium that produces insecticidal toxins.

Examples of GMOs

Golden Rice

• produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice.• Golden Rice is being developed as a potential new food-based approach to improve vitamin A status.

Hi everyone! By the way, I’m a BS Accountancy student here in UC. I like editing videos and creating presentations. I can sing and dance. I have a high-time in joining debate competitions because I enjoy argumentation.

That’s all for my video. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks!
